Real-Time Control of Music Performance
Anders Friberg

2008

In this chapter we will look at the real-time control of music performance on a higher level dealing with semantic/gestural descriptions rather than the control of each note as in a musical instrument. It is similar to the role of the conductor in a traditional orchestra. The conductor controls the overall interpretation of the piece but leaves the execution of the notes to the musicians. A computer-based music performance system typically consists of a human controller using gestures that are tracked and analysed by a computer generating the performance. An alternative could be to use audio input. In this case the system would follow a musician or even computer-generated music.

Approaches to Overcoming Problems in Interactive Musical Performance Systems
Cory Mckay

2000

Interactive musical performance systems have a great deal of potential in terms of the per- formance and compositional possibilities that they make available. Unfortunately, they also suffer from a number of difficulties, primarily with regard to problems with dissemination, lon- gevity and software and hardware reliability. This paper discusses issues that must be considered if one wishes to overcome these

Nln-Live, An Application For Live Non-Linear And Interactive Instrumental Music
Than van Nispen tot Pannerden

Proceedings of the SMC Conferences, 2014

NLN-live is a dynamic score system for nonlinear and interactive instrumental music performances, based on music technologies used in video games. The goal of NLN-live is to facilitate dynamically controlled collaborative performances that make live interactive video games music possible. The principle of NLN-live is simple: every musician of an ensemble repeatedly plays two fragments of music that are presented on a screen, say X and Y, with the musical content for X and Y being variable and changing, for example, in relation to the interaction with a video game. The continuously varying music fragments are controlled remotely by the NLN-live application, while the speed of these changes is controlled by the conductor. NLN-live has successfully been used with single musicians, ensembles, as well as a symphonic orchestra.

Roboser - An Autonomous Interactive Musical Composition System
Jônatas Manzolli

2000

This paper describes Roboser (http://www.roboser.com), an autonomous interactive music composition system. The core of the system comprises two components: a program for simulating large-scale neural networks, and an algorithmic composition system. Both components operate in real-time. Data from e.g. cameras, microphones and pressure sensors enter the simulated neural system, which is also used to actively control motor devices such as pantilt cameras and robots. The neural system relays data representing its current operational state on to the algorithmic composition system. The composition system in turn generates musical expressions of these neural states within an a priori stylistic framework. The result is a real-time system controlled by a brain-like structure that behaves and interacts within a given environment and expresses its internal states through music.

Real Time Control For Interactive Computer Music and Animation
Roger Dannenberg

1989

Real-time systems are commonly regarded as the most complex form of computer program due to parallelism, the use of special purpose input/output devices, and the fact that time-dependent errors are hard to reproduce. Several practical techniques can be used to limit the complexity of implementing real- time interactive music and animation programs. The techniques are: (1) a program structure in which input events are translated into procedure calls, (2) the use of non-preemptiv e programs where possible, (3) event-based programming which allows interleaved program execution, automatic storage management, and a single run-time stack, (4) multiple processes communicating by messages where task preemption is necessary, and (5) interface construction tools to facilitate experimentation and program refinement. These techniques are supported by software developed by the author for real- time interactive music programs and more recently for animation. Although none of these techniques are ...

Non-linear structures for real-time interactive musical works
Lindsay Vickery

Linear models for the organization of musical works, such as block-forms, Fugue and Sonata form, have a long and well-established history in Western Culture. Since the 1950s computer technology has increasingly been brought to bear upon the role of coordinating sound structures. The centralised nature of the computer's control of sound sources has permitted a compositional shift from pre-determined linear structures to ones that unfold in real-timewhere the work's content is not tethered to the time and order of their appearance. This shift is mirrored in other mediums and their equivalent non-linear offshoots, notably literature (hypertext) and multimedia (hypermedia). This paper will survey a range of non-linear structural models and propose potential applications of these models for real-time interactive musical works.

A Score-Based Interface for Interactive Computer Music
Keith Hamel

2007

The creation of interactive computer music often requires composers and performers to work within the paradigms of both instrumental music and responsive electroacoustics. The obstacles inherent in uniting these modes of operation have led the authors to develop an integrated working environment for interactive composition. NoteAbilityPro, a comprehensive music notation application, has been augmented to support real-time interaction with Max-MSP-Jitter or Pd. Control messages and notes with additional attributes can be embedded in a NoteAbilityPro score and sent to a network of computers running Max-MSP and/or Pd during an interactive performance. In order to allow the instrumentalist a degree of expressive freedom, score following using the suivi.score object in Max-MSP can be used to synchronize the score playback to the live performer. By integrating interactive performance controls in the notated score, a number of improvements have been realized, both in the working methods em...

Real-time Interactive Musical Systems: An Overview
Andrew Robertson

2006

We present an overview of developments towards interactive musical systems. A description of an interactive system is given and we consider potential uses for the automation of creative processes within live performance. We then look at the history of research into the problem of automatic accompaniment, discuss a variety of current interactive systems and present some ideas for future research.

Real-Time Interactive Digital Signal Processing: A View of Computer Music
Cort Lippe

when i was approached to write a short article for the twentieth anniversary of the Computer Music Journal, i re-read volume 15, number 4, a CMJ issue dedicated to “Dream Machines for Computer Music”...it is a fascinating issue, published five years ago, yet it does not in the least seem dated today...if technology is advancing as rapidly as the media would have us believe, then should not some of our dreams be a reality?...men went to the moon almost 30 years ago (nevermind the reasons) yet what has happened to all our fantasies of space exploration since then?...is the computer music field moving forward as it should, or are we as dependent on market forces as the space “race” was dependent on political forces?...

An Architectural Framework for Interactive Music Systems
Elaine Chew

2006

This report introduces the Software Architecture for Immersipresence (SAI) framework to the computer music community. SAI is a software architecture model for designing, analyzing and implementing applications that perform distributed, asynchronous parallel processing of generic data streams. The most significant innovation of SAI is its ability to handle real-time DSP, interactive control, and datacentered representations in a unified model. This generality facilitates the design and implementation of complex interactive systems that combine music analysis, synthesis and on-line control. Two examples illustrate the use of SAI in the design and implementation of interactive music systems: MuSA.RT, a system for real-time analysis and interactive visualization of tonal patterns in music, and ESP, a driving interface (wheel, pedals and display) for creating expressive performances from expressionless music files.

Real-Time Interaction Among Composers, Performers, and Computer Systems
Cort Lippe

As the computer becomes more and more ubiquitous in society, the term " interactive " has become a widely used, but misunderstood term. In this paper, I discuss definitions of interactive music and interactive music systems, performance issues in interactive music, and performer/machine relationships that engender interaction in an attempt to explain how and why I pursue this discipline. Furthermore, I describe the function of computers in my compositions, and the manner in which I explore performer/machine interaction. Personal Background Prior to 1980, I was equally active as both an instrumental and electronic music composer. I was originally drawn to the computer because of a strong interest in designing new sounds, something at which computers are quite good, and exploring algorithmic compositional structures, simulation being another particular strength of computers. While new sounds and compositional algorithms can be readily explored in a non-real-time environment, and the tape and instrument paradigm has existed since the beginnings of electronic music, my first experiences with electronic music were with analog synthesizers, and my earliest experiences with computers in the 1970s were predominately with real-time systems. In addition, during the second half of the 1970s, I worked with an improvisational music/dance ensemble exploring live-electronics combined with acoustic instruments. For the past 20 years, I have pursued creative and research interests in interactive computer music involving live instrumentalists and computers in performance situations. The opportunity to combine instruments and computers became increasing practical as real-time digital signal processors became more available in the 1980s. As the level of refinement of real-time control became proportionally greater, it became evident that composed music for instruments and interactive computer systems was a viable medium of expression. And while it is true that interactive computer music is a relatively new area in the electronic music field, developments in the power of desktop computers and the sophistication of real-time software have been responsible for enormous growth of the genre in the last ten years. The challenge of interactive computer music has been to articulate sonic design and compositional structures in some sort of interactive relationship with live performers. While some composers use computers to model or imitate musical instruments, and others are interested in modeling human performance, I am not interested in replacing either instruments or performers. Musicians, with their years of experience playing on instruments which have often developed over centuries, offer rich musical and cultural potential, and are perhaps the ultimate driving force for me as a composer working with computer technology. Interactive Music Robert Rowe, in the seminal book Interactive Music Systems [Rowe, 1993], states: " Interactive music systems are those whose behavior changes in response to musical input ". A dictionary definition of the word interactive states: " capable of acting on or influencing each other ". This would imply that a feedback loop of some sort exists between performer and machine. Indeed, the Australian composer Barry Moon suggests: " levels of interaction can be gauged by the potential for change in the behaviors of computer and performer in their response to each other ".

CURRENT TRENDS AND FUTURE RESEARCH DIRECTIONS FOR INTERACTIVE MUSIC
Mauricio Toro

In this review, it is explained and compared different software and formalisms used in music interaction: sequencers, computer-assisted improvisation, meta-instruments, score-following, asynchronous dataflow languages, synchronous dataflow languages, process calculi, temporal constraints and interactive scores. Formal approaches have the advantage of providing rigorous semantics of the behavior of the model and proving correctness during execution. The main disadvantage of formal approaches is lack of commercial tools.
